all 50 states' & territories' ballots, long as we're at it.

Trump-Pence is a ticket designed to agitate against civility, global citizenship, altruism, and dignity for all. The agitation is deliberate. If Trump mouthed off in most work places the way he does at rallies, he would be fired in most of those work places. Pence, although he looks halfway approachable next to Trump, is in many ways worse. It's a ticket designed to polarize.

Trump-Pence being off the ballot in Minnesota would be a pretty good thing. Go, Gophers.

nominee any way they desire. It would have to be people within the RNC to bring forth a lawsuit. The way they eat their own doesn't make it out of the realm of possibility.

The republicans broke their own rules, and now have to waste time defending themselves.

Hey look trump said they were going to cheat and there they are trying to get him thrown off the ballot.

No positive outcome with this. He certainly is not going to be removed from the ballot.

if they did something illegal and people find out about it, that's a win.

And it will be in the public record.
